“Liz is awesome. Super responsive and clearly loves all dogs. She had just come off an extended stay with another client but that didn’t stop her from making Jack her #1 priority. She ensured she arrived at our house on the first day soon after we left, she was clearly home with him a lot and she double-checked what time we expected to be home on the last day before leaving. The house was super tidy when we got home and Jack, while happy to see us, clearly had a great few days with Liz. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough (except during times we want her to stay with ours again 😁).”


“Nothing but great things to say about Austin! We have been looking for someone to watch our 2 dogs for a while. We used to use family or friends but wanted someone outside our circle to be able to rely on and we found that with Austin. Our 1 dog has a gamete of health issues and daily medication that is administered, and Austin navigated it without any hesitation. We came back home to a clean house, washed blankets and healthy, happy dogs. We are so lucky to have found Austin and highly recommend him. Thank you SO much Austin!”


“Chad watched our anxious dog for over two weeks and we are beyond thrilled to find such a patient and understanding dog minder. Our dog has separation anxiety and Chad made sure she was taken care of and safe. He also took care of our house and left it immaculate. We will definitely use him again!”


“This is my 2nd time having Lauryn housesit with my dog Daisy. She is very reliable and takes good care of Daisy and my house. She checks in daily with photos and updates. I am happy to have found a good petsitter thru Rover!”


About: Hello! My name is Sierra and for most of my life I have lived in Ventura County. I’ve also been around many cats, dogs, and other wonderful creatures my entire life. I am grateful to have been/be around so many loving creatures. As for pet services, I have 11 years and counting of experience and have always enjoyed caring for fur babies, young and old. My services include dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight pet/house care. Leave it to me to take care of your furry family member(s) when you aren’t home! I am a freelance makeup artist and graphic designer, and for the most part I am working from home, so I can most likely make myself available and fit myself into your schedule. I work from home 90% of the time so for the most part I am very open and available to care for your pet(s). For overnights, I can easily bring my laptop to work in between fulfilling your pets needs. I will show respect to you and your pet(s) space as I visit your home. If you need small services such as watering plants and/or bringing mail in, I will happily do so.

About: I have two amazing smaller dogs, one a chihuahua mix, another a poodle mix, and they have been living in our family for 10+ years each! I also have some experience in drop-in visits and love to walk! Not to mention I am also an Eagle Scout with great life experience, so I am ready to tackle whatever is thrown at me. I am currently a graduating senior from college and what better way to enjoy the summer than by helping out some cute animals! I will be available a lot with how much free time I have, and am looking for a nice gig. I treat every pet with great respect and am always on top of feeding, walking, playing, and taking care of them because I would treat anyone's pet with the same amount of care that I do for mine!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Neighbors, friends and family trust me to feed, walk, and watch their dogs. I’ve fostered many dogs and love all breeds of dogs. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets. Check out my availability below and let me know if you have any questions. When I’m caring for your pet in your home or out and about, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I create a calm, loving environment and follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I have experience with senior pets and understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they may need. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications, supplements, or other daily care routines as needed. Your pet will be treated like family—with compassion, reliability, and lots of love every step of the way.

About: I’ve been in the presence of animals all my life! Specifically bigger dogs like huskies and golden doodles galore! I love animals and know how special they are to us and want to make sure they are well exercised, cared for, and loved! I’m confident your dog (and you) will like me because i’m kind, respectful, and honest! I promise i will love your dog as much as you do🤍 I just graduated from Pepperdine! I’m currently working full time in Malibu but normally have two weekdays off- however the specific days change week to week. I start work at 10 and off at 6:30 and can walk anytime before or after that! This allows for your dog to be cared for when it’s a cooler temperature outside making it more fun for them on walks! On my off days i’m free anytime! I have a fenced home and two dogs to keep your dog company! ( one husky and one golden doodle). I do have a pool in my back yard! Your dog can sleep with me and go on any of the furniture!

“Hayley dog sat our two little dogs last Saturday and she was lovely. If she has availability to sit your dog, definitely contact and book her! First of all, our one dog is a 15 year old diabetic with a host of other problems. He has to eat at a certain time, take oral medications, and get his insulin shot at a certain time. With a meet and greet, Hayley actually came over and learned how to give him his shot. To be honest, it's really hard to find someone to give an insulin shot who'll also sit, but Hayley got the gist right away! She's really nice and very responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in Hayley's care. I got photos all night, updates on their feeding/meds, and when I came home late at night, everything was very tidy and cleaned up. So, the point being, if you can get Hayley to sit for you, do it. It was such a relief having her here with our little guys. We will definitely be asking her to sit for us in the future :) She's great!”


“Tawny did a great job looking after my senior Great Pyrenees, who needs a lot of patience as well as having some specific medical needs. Very grateful for the excellent job, thank you Tawny!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages and sizes. I grew up with a shnoodle and a golden doodle who was over 100lbs at her biggest. We got both of them when they were puppies, so it's been a while since I've taken care of a puppy, but I'm sure I could pick it up again easily. I also have experience administering medication, both pills and IVs, to dogs and cats. i know how to generally take care of senior animals. I know that they generally take more time and care. I will look to you for more specific instructions. I can't wait to meet your furry baby! Right now, I am unemployed, so I have a very open schedule to take care of animals. If I get a job, I will communicate and change my availability as soon as I know. I will do what the owner expects me to do with the pet. I have a car and can take the dog to a park or the vet if necessary. We have cats and live in an apartment, so I will not take care of animals at home.

About: Hello working with animals has always been my passion ever since I could remember, I have nine years experience working with pup’s/kitty,s and counting. I’d love to meet your fur baby. I have pretty open availability during the week/weekends I have a part time job so I’m able to schedule things around pretty easily so feel free to message and we can talk about it. 😊🐾 I like to know the pets feeding routine, medications the pet is currently on, any behavioral problems I should be aware of, weather the pet is a puppy kitten or senior and need they need that extra bit attention, I also appreciate emergency contact info and vets in the area in case of emergency.

“We reached out to Zoe fairly last minute because our usual dog sitter had something come up. She was very professional, friendly and communicative. Most importantly, she took care of our dog and home very well while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Zoe if you need someone to look after your pet”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 15 years. I grew up with dogs—raising them from puppies to seniors—and currently have two cats of my own. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and give oral meds to their pets, and I’ve had experience with shy and anxious animals too. I focus on day-to-day care, attention, and companionship when working with others’ animals. My schedule is flexible and varies day-to-day, but I can often be free most of the day when needed. Morning walks are especially convenient for me, and I’m sometimes available on short notice. I work part-time and pet care often fits in well around my other responsibilities. I have a car and can travel locally without an issue. When caring for pets in your home, I aim to maintain their normal routine and create a calm, safe, and familiar environment. I’m respectful of your space, follow any specific instructions or house rules, and make sure your pet feels relaxed and well-cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or medication, I handle it all with consistency and care.

When I care for your pet, it's like they become a part of my family. Their happiness and comfort are what truly matter to me, and I'll go above and beyond to make their time with me unforgettable. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my life. Working part-time allows me the flexibility to spend quality time with both my baby and our beloved fur babies.

I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in my home and their homes. In my place, they enjoy comfy spots for relaxation and lots of TLC.

“Logan definitely takes the time needed to provide love and care a pet desires. He is reliable, responsible and trustworthy. Anyone's pet will be in great hands with Logan.”


Perry S.

“Perry did a great job watching our new and very young puppy. I would recommend Perry for your dog walking/watching needs.”


Lindsay G.
“Lindsay is one of the kindest and most caring people I know. She has fostered and cared for many dogs, treating each one like her own. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and loving, and any pet would be lucky to spend time with her. I would trust her completely to care for any dog as if it were family.”


kelsey l.
“I've had the privilege of seeing firsthand just how deeply Kelsey connects with animals. She’s cared for her three dogs—Kobe, Winnie, and Sky—with a level of love and dedication that goes beyond being a pet owner. Sky, who sadly passed away, is still very much a part of her heart and memories, and the way Kelsey continues to honor her says everything about the kind of person she is: compassionate, loyal, and deeply nurturing. Now caring for Kobe and Winnie, she remains incredibly attentive and in tune with their needs—whether it's playtime, structured walks, or just a quiet moment of affection. As someone who owns two cats myself, I’ve watched how naturally animals gravitate toward her. She has that rare, calming energy that both dogs and cats respond to instinctively. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with love, patience, and real care, Kelsey is the person you want. She doesn't just walk dogs—she builds bonds with them.”
